Made some progress on the 6" lift install... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Found some shot tie rod ends, and a broken centerpin during the venture.

I compared the old spring arch to the new 6" spring arch, and without a load the 6" springs look to be giving me about 4" more lift! The springs that are coming off are junk, and I am 99% sure they are rearched stock springs.

This thing is NOT going to make it out of the garage without some stockers bolted up. Any San Diegans have a set of low profile or stock tires on 6 on 5.5" wheels that I could borrow when this comes out of the garage?
